ABSTRACT:
A method and device that allows for streamlined and efficient upright installation of coiled fence materials into fences. The device is an elongated hollow cylindrical drum designed to receive a coil of fence material which may be opened lengthwise according to a set of hinges down one side. A longitudinal gap is provided in the drum through which the leading edge of the coil of fence may pass. The underside of the drum opposite the opening is attached to a sturdy rotatable support pole. The opposite end of the support pole is designed for easy attachment to the lifting mechanism of a suitable machine (such as a tractor, backhoe, forklift or bulldozer).
Once the pole is attached to the lifting machine, and a coil of fence placed in the drum, it is closed and latched allowing the leading edge of the fence to extend through the gap in the drum. Using the machine, the method of installation begins with lifting the pole thereby lifting the drum up off the ground. Then the pole and drum are then rotated approximately ninety degrees (90.degree.), bringing the drum to an upright position. The fence coil may then be unrolled as it sits in the drum for attachment to waiting fence posts.
